Mother Nature is playing tricks on us here. One day it's gorgeous and in the 60's the next day it's snowing, blowing and in the 20's and 30's. I don't know whether to wear my sweater or light t-shirt to work every day. Either way, it seems like I end up too hot or too cold.

Work is getting busier and busier everyday. Building up to that "busiest week/month of the year" for us fireworks people. Seems like everyday there is so much to do that I am starting to have to stay later and later for work. Which is good, because then the day goes by faster.

I finished my "very special shawl" a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had time to post about it. So, finally here it is:

It's my hand spun satin angora and bombyx silk blend yarn. It is incredibly soft and warm. I absolutely love it! I feel like I have achieved Knitters bliss with this one. I believe it is the most beautiful thing I have created, plus my precious bunny Copper can be with me everyday now. ( He died of old age several years ago and I miss him very much.)

Anyway, just wanted to get a post in before the entire month was gone. I am working frantically to get the June Sockamania pattern done right now. With work being busy and the type of sock I designed it has not gone as quickly as some patterns have in the past. It is a gorgeous sock! I'll post pictures of it next time.

You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting and do it all the time. While finishing a piece is the plan, you still love the process, and can't imagine a day going by without giving some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation involves leaving ample space for the stash and supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn ends and you begin.http://marniemaclean.comTake this quiz!
